2 What this talk is about? For equilibrium models of energy markets (including stochastic versions with risk aversion); + Modelling issues + Existence and other theoretical issues + Solution techniques
3 Energy markets can be large Strategic sectors: subject to regulations in quality, price and entry couple several regions and markets Electric Power: (source EPEX)
4 Energy markets can be large Strategic sectors: subject to regulations in quality, price and entry couple several regions and markets Natural Gas: Energy Policy, 36: , Egging, Gabriel, Holtz, Zhuang, A complementarity model for the European natural gas market
5 Market: Premises + Agents (producers, traders, logistics) -take unilateral decisions -behave competitively + A representative of the consumers (the ISO) -focuses on the benefits of consumption -seeking a price that matches supply and demand -while keeping prices low + Agents actions coupled by some relations, clearing the market.

7 Market: Premises + Agents (producers, traders, logistics) -take unilateral decisions -behave competitively + A representative of the consumers (the ISO) -focuses on the benefits of consumption -seeking a price that matches supply and demand -while keeping prices low + Agents actions coupled by some relations, clearing the market, (MC) Today, models from game theory or complementarity leading to Variational Inequalities (VIs) (i.e., sufficiently "convex")
8 Do Different models yield different decisions? Mixed Complementarity formulations Agents maximize profit independently Supply Demand: Market Clearing constraint (MC) multiplier equilibrium price Price is an exogenous concave function of the total offer: π = π( i qi ) Models from game theory Agents maximize profit independently Supply Demand: Market Clearing constraint (MC) multiplier equilibrium price

27 Incorporating a Capacity Market Suppose producers pay I i (z i ) to invest in an increase z i in production capacity Production bounds go from 0 q i q i max ( q i Q i ) to 0 q i q i max+z i (z i,q i ) X i

29 Incorporating a Capacity Market Suppose producers pay I i (z i ) to invest in an increase z i in production capacity Production bounds go from 0 q i q i max ( q i Q i ) to 0 q i q i max + z i (z i,q i ) X i min I i (z i ) + c i (q i ) mini i (z i ) + V i (z i ) { ith problem s.t. (z i,q i ) X i V (z i minc i (q i ) ) = MC(q i,q i (z i,q i ) X i ) = 0 MC(q i,q i ) = 0
30 Incorporating a Capacity Market Suppose producers pay I i (z i ) to invest in an increase z i in production capacity Production bounds go from 0 q i q i max ( q i Q i ) to 0 q i q i max + z i (z i,q i ) X i min I i (z i ) + c i (q i ) mini i (z i ) + V i (z i ) { ith problem s.t.

Similarly for Mixed Complementarity model

The function V i depends on (z i,q i ), the second-level problem is a Generalized Nash Game (hard!) Consistent with reality: Agents will keep competing after capacity expansion. Similarly for Mixed Complementarity model and 2 stage with recourse, even without expansion
37 What about uncertainty?

51 Assessing both options PATH can be used for the two variants. + Reformulation eliminates nonsmoothness Non-separable feasible set + Smoothing To drive smoothing parameter to 0: repeated VI solves Keeps feasible set separable by scenarios: easier VI
52 Assessing both options PATH can be used for the two variants. + Reformulation eliminates nonsmoothness Non-separable feasible set + Smoothing To drive smoothing parameter to 0: repeated VI solves Keeps feasible set separable by scenarios: easier VI Provides existence result!
53 Smoothing We use smooth approximations ρ l ρ l (Z) := min u { u ε E[ σ l (Z k u) ] } for smoothing σ l [ ] + uniformly as l. For instance, σ l (t) = (t + t 2 + 4τ 2 l )/2 for τ l 0. Since ρ l is smooth, VI(F l [,C) has a a single-valued ] VI operator involving q iρ l (c i k (q k)) K k=1,
54 Theorems like ρ l is a risk-measure convex, monotone, and translation equi-variant, but not positively homogeneous (only coherent in the limit). ρ l is C 2 for strictly convex smoothings such as σ l (t) = (t + t 2 + 4τ 2 l )/2 Any accumulation point of the smoothed problems solves the original risk-averse (non-smooth) problem as l. : existence result!

56 Numerical performance of smoothing τ l VI l τ l+1 VI l+1...until stabilization x for x = (z 1:N,q 1:N 1:K ) stop if j+1 x j max (1, ) 0.01 x j+1 2 players and a consumer representative, player 0. Player 2 has higher generation costs. Less than 5 solves in average, each solve takes 45 seconds. Excellent solution quality
57 Numerical performance of smoothing τ l VI l τ l+1 VI l+1...until stabilization x for x = (z 1:N,q 1:N 1:K ) stop if j+1 x j max (1, ) 0.01 x j+1 2 players and a consumer representative, player 0. Player 2 has higher generation costs. Less than 5 solves in average, each solve takes 45 seconds. Excellent solution quality
58 Numerical performance of smoothing τ l VI l τ l+1 VI l+1...until stabilization x for x = (z 1:N,q 1:N 1:K ) stop if j+1 x j max (1, ) 0.01 x j+1 2 players and a consumer representative, player 0. Player 2 has higher generation costs. Less than 5 solves in average, each solve takes 45 seconds. Excellent solution quality After the first VI, PATH solves much faster VIs for l > 1
59 Numerical performance of smoothing For nonconvex generation costs, reformulation becomes slower with nonconvex generation costs. Smoothing needs less than 6 solves in average. Once again, after the first VI solve, PATH much faster for consecutive smoothed VIs: time of PATH smoothing 2 time of PATH reformulation but: Total time of reformulation increases a lot, it scales less well
60 Numerical performance of smoothing For nonconvex generation costs, reformulation becomes slower with nonconvex generation costs. Smoothing needs less than 6 solves in average. Once again, after the first VI solve, PATH much faster for consecutive smoothed VIs: time of PATH smoothing 2 time of PATH reformulation but: Total time of reformulation increases a lot, it scales less well
61 Final Comments When in the agents problems the objective or some constraint depends on actions of other agents, writing down the stochastic game/vi can be tricky (which selection mechanism in a 2-stage setting?) Handling nonsmoothness via reformulation seems inadequate for large instances Smoothing solves satisfactorily the original risk-averse nonsmooth problem for moderate τ (no need to make τ 0) Smoothing preserves separability; it is possible to combine Benders techniques (along scenarios) with Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition (along agents) Decomposition matters: for European Natural Gas network Solving VI directly with PATH solver S. Dirkse, M. C. Ferris, and T. Munson Using DW-decomposition saves 2/3 of solution time
